Is there a method where I could generate a heading using a grid column value?
My grid is output as a table sorted by the column “sport” with values like “hockey, baseball, soccer” etc.
So as I loop through the different sports, I’d like a heading for each. So when it shows the entries sorted with the value ‘hockey’ there would be a heading ‘Hockey’ displayed. Any thoughts on doing that?
One way to do this. You add a grid field for the heading value, then when you input data ensure that field is only present in the first row of a group.
The template code would then go something like this:
Lets say your grid name is sport_grid, and the grid has two field, grid_heading and grid_item
{sport_grid}
{if sport_grid:sport_heading}<h1>{sport_grid:sport_heading}</h1{/if}
{sport_grid:sport_item}
{/sport_grid}
So what the tenplate is doing is only outputting the heading if it exists.
